325 Butts County
Men Now In Armed
Service Of Nation
THIS INCLUDES NATIONAL
GUARD UNIT, SELECTEES AND
VOLUNTEERS IN VARIOUS
BRANCHES OF SERVICE
According to information m the
office of the Butts county selective
service board, Butts county now has
325 men in service. This includes
the national guard unit, called to
duty when the national emergency
was declared, selectees and volun
teers in all branches of service.
The exact number in the Army,
Navy, Coast Guard, Air Corps, Na
val Reserve is not immediately avail
able, but the county has men in all
branches of the armed service, serv
ing in various parts of the continen
tal United States and in foreign
fields.
The county has a potential man
power of 1,467 in the three regis
trations previously held, not includ
ing Monday’s registration of those
in the 45-65 age group. Several
hundred additional names were add
ed as a result of the April 27 regis
tration, though it is not likey any
of the registrants will be called for
armed service.
It now seems likely that man pow
er will be needed more in the pres
ent war than in that of 1914-18.
In connection with the above fig
ures, the local draft board reported
that as of March 31 there were 25
whites and 27 Negroes in 1-A from
the first and second registrations
awaiting local physical examination.

SUGAR SAVERS
To conserve sugar, Miss Lurline
Collier, state home demonstration
agent for the Georgia Extension
Service, suggests making fewer pies,
cakes, and sugar-rich desserts; using
more fruits —fresh, canned, and
dried; gradually reducing the quan
tity of sugar in beverages, especially
if the usual quantity leaves some un
dissolved in the bottom of the cup;
eating cereals with- little or no sugar,
to savor their disitnctive flavors;
serving any very sweet foods, like
preserves, last —never before foods
that are less sweet, because this con
trast makes one want extra sugar.
